Marley And Me

Marley & Me is such a darling bookette

Amazon are very manipulative, no wonder they are so successful, I had never heard of Marley & Me, and then I visited amazon one day and there it was in my recommendations.  I knew what amazon were saying, scarily it was “Hey, somehow we know you have a dog and look here, a book with a cute doggy on the cover!  Buy it now.”  It’s the true story of a florida journalist who gets a labrador who grows up to have some major behavioural problems.  It’s as bitter-sweet as a story can be, and by the end I had such tears pouring down my face that I could barely see through them to keep reading.  As soon as I finished the last page I dropped the book to the floor and went running downstairs to the kitchen where Eddie sleeps of a night to give him a big hug, which he wasn’t best pleased about because I had to wake him for it.
